We are responsible for receiving and processing all wireless and landline 9-1-1 emergency calls for police, fire, and EMS services throughout the county.

The Communications Center also serves as the designated Mutual Aid Box Alarm System (MABAS) dispatch center for Monroe County.

Located within the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office, the center operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. It is staffed by twelve full-time and five limited-use telecommunicators, working under the supervision of two telecommunicator supervisors to ensure consistent and reliable service.

On average, the center processes approximately 94,000 incoming phone calls a year, with about fifteen percent being emergency 9-1-1 calls.
